@Jumpbootsfarm there are flock swaps in Fayetteville but I don’t know details. In sanford, at Carolina Town&Country, they have a flock swap every 1st Saturday.

I am in Snow Camp, will be at Swepsonville Farmers Market tomorrow with chicks, eggs and bread to sell. Flying Fowl Farm- I really need to make a FB page.

Any of the N.C. peeps need some sweet Cochin cockerels? They are my first grand-chicks that I hatched and I simply can’t keep them all.

Where is it and when?! I have oodles of chicks and should probably bring some.

I don’t think I am more than an hour away. Isn’t Troy near Asheboro?

I’m in Alamance Co just a few miles north of Chatham Co line. Welcome! I love this site. For bedding, I use pine shavings and more or less use deep litter method.

Welcome

5 eggs pipped in the bator. Late day 20!

The block absorbs some of the water and stays cooler?

There is shade out there, we have huge trees all around their pen. And a tarp over half of it as well. I think it is just plain hot and humid. The big girls have plenty of space for normal dust bathing.

One of the days, they were laying down all stretched out. Is that heat stress? Or just normal chick behavior in the heat? They hopped right up to evade being touched by me or the big girls.

Hey guys. I have an NC specific question... My chicks are 3 weeks old, brooder has been on back porch but getting so hot! The babies are mostly feathered and only using lamp at night. It seems too hot to put them outside. The coop/pen they are going to has some shade from a tarp, but the big...

I'm just a bit north of you! And work in Sanford

Hey everyone I am back on BYC after a few years of hiatus. I have 4 elderly 5-8 year old hens, 3 cockerels (8 mos old), and 8 pullets same age. Getting tons of eggs, and mostly fertilised I was observing as we eat them. So, I decided to try incubation for first time. And getting goats this...

sadly I am not near Knott's island, I work and rent near Jacksonville nc, my farm and permanent home is Alamance county nc. I may check out the Raleigh store, urban chickenchicken. I drove through at least once per week and that might work out well for me. Was hoping someone local to Alamance...

Looking for some baby chicks in NC, I looked to order from one of hatcheries but the shipping was $40! Way more than my chicks. I now have two broodies, a bantam who has been trying to hatch all summer and one of my barred rocks just started this week. Will they make good mama's?

I have chatted via email with a hatchery in Fayetteville about growing some chicks out, but...my bantam has gone completely crazy broody! So, not sure what to do. Could I move her to new location at the coast and buy fertilized eggs? Have never hatched babies and not sure how to go about that...

Wow at all the new peeps since I logged on last. I'm a nurse midwife at Camp Lejeune. I am settling in at my parents place in Sneads Ferry and want to get some pullets for that house. I'd like to get older chick's maybe a few weeks old. Any ideas on my best options?

one of my Americaunas, Martha, finally decided the new year was a good time to start back. She has laid 3 eggs in 4 days, skipped today, hoping she reminds her coop mates (2 slw, another americauna and a little black bantam) what they are there to do! They have taken off for about 3 months, and...

Thanks so much, I had no idea how to tell if my girls were entering chicken menopause! Haha. I appreciate the support and info. The one who is laying, has beautiful red comb and wattles, the others look a bit pale...
